Fuel cell manufacturers and OEMs continue to benefit from an increased U.S.
military emphasis on energy security and logistical efficiency associated with
the complex and challenging operational conditions being encountered in remote
wartime environments such as Afghanistan. At the same time, an almost complete
dependence on a fragile and vulnerable commercial power grid and other
national critical infrastructure places military and homeland defense missions
at an unacceptably high risk of extended disruption. Reducing the strategic
and tactical vulnerabilities associated with powering military equipment and
strategic installations has subsequently emerged as a leading priority for the
U.S. Department of Defense.

Performance is the most powerful driving force for the adoption of fuel cells
by the world' s armed forces. Enhancing the overall capabilities and
performance of the U.S. armed forces is the leading priority for U.S. military
agencies in considering new technologies and products for funding and
potential integration into various military systems. Low noise and a low heat
signature represent two good examples, providing specific benefits to military
users that may not be as important to other customers. Production of water as
a by-product may also be of great use in remote locations. Overall though, the
most attractive attribute of fuel cell systems is there high energy density,
particularly when compared to standard military batteries.

This Pike Research report examines the stationary, transport and portable
power applications for fuel cell technologies currently being explored and
validated by the U.S. Department of Defense, including a detailed analysis of
market drivers as well as potential barriers to adoption. Forecasts through
2017 are also provided for those technologies and applications that are deemed
as offering a realistic possibility of being deployed within that timeframe.

Key Questions Addressed:

What are the advantages of fuel cells for military applications?

What are the funding mechanisms available to fuel cell developers?

What are the potential military markets for fuel cells?

What are the specific fuel cell technologies involved in the U.S. military
market?

What are the barriers to military fuel cell deployment?
